Promises

Genesis 3:14-22

Along with a curse comes a blessing. "By the sweat of your face, you will eat bread." "In pain you will bring forth children." Blessings in this passageway are as fundamental as food and family. God ensuring His people they will live, though not forever.

The greatest promise comes in Jesus as God curses the snake saying, "He will bruise your head, and you will bruise His heel." A promise that Jesus will conquer and succeed.

I am encouraged to see in God's word balance between struggle and success, although I don't always see it play out in real life. I feel like, for some, life is easier; while others barely get by. God, help us to see your goodness in all things.
